Samsung Unveils Galaxy S24 Series: Preorders, Pricing, and Offers
Following a series of leaks, Samsung has officially revealed its latest lineup of flagship phones at the recent Unpacked event. The Galaxy S24, S24 Plus, and S24 Ultra are set to launch on January 31st, and preorders have already kicked off. The base model starts at $799.99, the Plus model at $999.99, and the high-end Ultra variant at $1,299.99.
In our early hands-on experience, there doesn't seem to be any groundbreaking hardware changes in the Galaxy S24 family. However, each phone features a slightly larger battery and display compared to its predecessor. The Ultra model justifies its premium price with a titanium build, and all displays are noticeably brighter. Rather than focusing on a design overhaul, Samsung has concentrated on enhancing AI features, leveraging Google's Gemini foundational models. Some of these features aim to be genuinely helpful, while others add a touch of fun.
Powered by the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, certain AI features are processed on the device, while others require server-side processing. These phones promise a longer lifespan, aligning with Samsung's commitment to match Google's seven-year upgrade promise, ensuring at least seven major Android upgrades and security updates.
